The dayglow orange also provides more contrast with canary (vs using weighted orange) since it is a darker shade.... and it's not really an eyepopper, like most of the other CPC dayglo colors (although the JB $5 chip certainly has it's fair share of pop).I see what you are saying, yellow more than canary in the low light. I think the orange will be the bigger contrast, I wanted to avoid dayglo to blend in a bit with less "pop".
Now I am doubting reality.....
I do think it's less of an issue with normal spots, but canary will definitely be capable of causing dirty stacks imo with that much edge real estate if using 1/4- or 1/2-pies.
I first settled on dg peach and dg orange as 1/4-pie colors (also seriously considered peach w/gray and w/charcoal), but later decided that $25 chips would so rarely be in play in any games I spread that I'd rather have three different spot patterns on the felt simultaneously (tri-moon quarters, 1/4-pie dollars, and the $5s -- plus I still have the solid black JB hot-stamped no-denoms that can now be used as nickels for microstakes with no repeating patterns across four chips). Plus no metal flakes, as I feel they really detract from the look when paired with TRK chips.
